The police Collision Investigation Unit is now examining the scene to establish what happened.

It is understood that the collision followed a shoplifting incident at Homebase.

Eyewitnesses reported seeing a car driving out of the car park, before colliding with another car and hitting the man.

The patient is a construction worker from the nearby Bath Western Riverside housing development.

A statement from developers Crest Nicholson said: "We can confirm that one of our sub-contractors has been injured in an incident today at a location close, but unconnected, to our site or our construction activity.

"At this time it is a matter for the police and it would be inappropriate for us to comment further.

"Our foremost thoughts are with the individual concerned and their family."
